A Little Bass For A Couple Of Bucks - Sennheiser Rs120 Wireless Headphones Review

By Emma Gonzales


I find the 130's much easier to change volume since it is a simple roll of a wheel but the 180's won't change volume while lying on my side. The 180's do take some getting used to if you want to change volume while you're wearing the headphones.

Setup was quick and easy. The base station charges the headphones when you place them on top, which I do at the end of the day. The range is excellent too - works everywhere in my 1,300 square foot apartment and in the hallway too (when I go to take garbage out for instance). What I do agree with is that the control buttons are pain to use.

The phones are adjustable, hold their adjustment, and apply the perfect amount of pressure to create a soft "seal" without cutting off your circulation. It's an excellent, well-designed, quality product. I should note that while I was listening to this selection I was moving around my approx. 1100 hem in an 1100 square foot apartment with no loss of fidelity at all.

I bought & returned 2 other different brands but none compared to these. Prior to making this purchase, I ordered the RS190s thinking that spending more $ meant a better product. Thanks to Kleer's uncompressed audio transmission technology another journey began via listening to some of my favorite Blue-rays like Oliver Stones "The Doors". The bass sounds are outstanding and precise.

I think RS130 is analog sound and RS180 is digital sound. Sound quality is very good and no static background noise. The RS 180 features ALC, which will boost mid-range in the interest of speech intelligibility. If you find it is too much, you can turn it off.

First, let me say that these come highly recommended. Sennheiser fixed some of the problems that plagued their previous wireless headphones. I bought it as a birthday present for my husband. It came nicely packaged. I have never given anything five stars until this product came along. Having previously owned the earlier RS 160, I knew the quality of these "cans."

Now that I am able to hear so well again, makes the Sennheiser RS 180 Headphones well worth their cost. I have/had both multiple wired/wireless headphones, so I've put together a mental list over time, of what worked, and what hasn't. The volume and balance are controlled by small, low-profile buttons on the outside of the right ear cup. For me, it's been tough to find and operate those buttons by feel. I listen to classical music mostly (90%) along with a bit of rock music and others (10%). To me, it took about 20 hours of listening to break in.
